How is this bag holding up? Is it durable? I'm going to be going to school and need the option to bring it with me and want it to hold up for a while.

I use it daily for work and have not had any problems as of yet. The pattern doesn't even have any wear to it...but it would also depending on what your carrying. If its overstuffed with books and notebooks, it might be different. Best of luck :-)

Its holding up fine. However I only go to school one or two nights a week so I probably don't beat it up too much. So far though no complaints. Stitching appears to be sound.

I haven't had it long enough to test durability but it looks and feels durable. The insides make a crinkly sound. It does have to pieces of velcro on it to close the outer pocket and the inner divider (contrary to my review). It does seem well padded. The other outer pocket is zipped. I would recommend it. I got mine in purple!

This is a great bag. I love it, it has a lot of storage for everything you need to take with you to school or the office. I'm happy I purchased this bag. Good luck in school.

Sorry but I haven't used mine yet -I have the purple bag and Love how it looks. I feels very durable and I would buy it again.

I find it perfect for college students. However, I think it might be too big for high schoolers. Too big is better than too small though right? I must say though, most of my class-mates have smaller bags. It really just depends on you personal preference. If you have monster textbooks, a computer, and more, this bag has the space. It's really heavy as a result, but that's just going to happen. You can't really get around that.

After receiving your question I checked mine out to see if there are any tears and it looks like the day I got it. Honestly it's the best bag I ever owned. I think they have a lifetime guarantee so get with Maxpedition to see if they will repair or replace.

I would say that unless they are carrying a laptop to school it may be a little bit of ever kill. It was really designed (in my opinion) for someone that needed a laptop bag with extra "perks". The biggest compartment in the back is not much use for anything other than a laptop. Love the bag though - so I would have bought it anyway. LOL

It's a great back pack for school, with quite a few assorted pockets. The only thing I wish had was a collapsing strap with buckles. It's got a laptop sleeve that's good for a 17 inch 2010 laptop and a great little compartment for something small, like a portable hard drive. The second biggest zipper pocket is good in theory, but I always get stuff lost in that pocket, since ours so big. Not my favorite back pack, but I'm just set in my ways.

It's still pretty bulky. This bag is good for carrying a lot of things. If you are looking for a lightweight bag to carry a laptop and a binder, this probably isn't the bag for you. However, if you often carry a lot, it is the best bag I have had. I have had this bag for over 6 months and have used it daily for law school. It has not ripped and holds everything I need.

Love this bag. I carry my laptop, several large books (I'm in grad school) my wallet, work stuff, lunch and it is holding up well. The hardware on this bag is heavy duty and the leather is thick. The only thing I don't like is the buckled closure. It looks good but is sort of a pain to get into fast. I've found that I just buckle the middle. Best bag I've ever purchased and I don't think I'll have to get another for a very long time!

Hi Brian, from my experience I can say that the bag was quite sturdy overall. I gifted it to my dad for his laptop and I haven't heard any complaints from him :) for the price it's a great value. I spent more on another bag for myself and that one broke, so name brand and price aren't always an indicator of quality. I hope this is helpful :) happy shopping.

I haven't had any issues with it. I love this bag. Holds everything I take with me and it was CHEAP...but not cheaply made!

Mine has held up. It gets really squeezed when in its bag. It takes a little while for it to bounce back to its shape but always has.

Absolutely, that's exactly what I used it for on my last trip. It is very durable. I have a thing for bags and this is my favorite. I even ordered another one and use it for school.

Yes, the blue held up really well. I was backpacking for three months shoving the back under bunkbeds at hostels and you could hardly see any marks. The grey reenforcement at the corners showed a little ware after coming off the luggage hold on the plane. I really liked this bag and the versatility it offers.

It's a very sturdy bag. I've had this bag for a couple of months now and it's holding up quite well. It also has a number of obvious and not-so-obvious storage spaces. Helps to keep you pretty organized. I bet it will also look cool with you on your bike :)

It is surprisingly durable. I am very rough with my gear and tend to over-stuff. I used this bag daily for an entire semester, as well as weekend trips and the only issue I've had is that one of the buttons has come loose. It is very well made and very durable.

It sounds to me as though you're looking for the same thing I was when I bought this bag. I do property inspections so I carry camera, tape measure, small notebook, small light, etc and honestly I had high hopes for this bag and it failed miserably for my purposes. I'm sure it's a great school bag but it doesn't have the reinforcements necessary to hold it's shape or provide easy access. Don't get this bag for what you're doing. I bought a UTG Multi-functional Tactical bag and it's perfect. I also like the Bestek SLR DSLR Canvas bag for what you're doing both of these bags I got from Amazon. I carry either depending on my location. Good luck and I hope this helped.

It's a great bag!! I'm a College student, lots of heavy books, holds a laptop (section just for it), a mouse. It has many compartments! Only thing, not waterproof :)

Yes, I got the bag last year for my senior year of high school and it worked amazing. It had more the enough space for a day of classes.
